COURSE PREFIX: ENG 100                   COURSE TITLE: Introduction to Composition

CONTACT HOURS: 3 Lecture

RATIONALE FOR THE COURSE:

Students learn to write by practicing writing. Therefore, English 100 helps students develop their
writing and critical thinking skills by composing five-paragraph essays and reviewing grammar,
punctuation, and use of transitions. English 100 is a college preparatory English course that
helps students refine their critical thinking and writing skills, which are essential prerequisites for
English 101.


PURPOSE OF THE COURSE:

English 100 covers material necessary to ensure successful transition from basic English skills,
paragraph structure, complex sentence variety (taught in ENG 031 and 032 and reviewed in
ENG100) to proficient use of five-paragraph essay structure and development of basic critical
thinking skills.


COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is a study of basic writing and different modes of composition and may include a
review of usage. In order to advance to English 101, a student must earn a minimum grade of
―C‖ and pass an exit exam to be administered at the end of the semester. The exit exam is
scored by two full-time English teachers other than the student’s instructor.

PREREQUISITES:

A grade of ―C‖ or better in ENG 032, score of 70-79 Writing on the COMPASS test, or
recommended placement by the teacher of English 101, Composition I, based upon
performance on the 101 diagnostic sample essay.

          organized five-paragraph essay, which includes a clear thesis statement/controlling
          idea and adheres to college-level expectations and standards.

EVALUATION OF REQUIRED COURSE MEASURES/ARTIFACTS:

Grades are based on points from assignments, in-class writings, tests, quizzes, MyWritingLab
and/or grammar exercises, in accordance with the system found below, though the points may
be adjusted slightly by instructors. Note that grades of A *, B*, C*, F* are awarded in this
course; a D* grade does not exist in English 100.

Note: Exit exam results determine whether or not a student passes English 100, regardless of
the grade prior to the exit exam. Students with a ―C*‖ or higher will be permitted to take the exit
exam; others must re-take the course.

EXIT EXAM EVALUATION/PROCESS:

   1. Approximately two weeks prior to the end of the semester, students whose averages are
      an A, B, or C, are permitted to take the exit exam. Those whose average is a D or
      below, must retake English 100 the next semester.
   2. Two chances to pass the exit exam are given by the instructor: The first is offered within
      the last two weeks of the semester; the second is offered during the class’s final exam
      time slot. Instructors will specify these dates on the syllabus, course page, and/or
      announce in class or via email.
   3. Each exit exam is scored by at least two full-time faculty members of the
      Communications department, who are not the instructor of the class being graded.
   4. The student’s performance on the exit exam determines whether or not the student
      passes the course. Those who pass either the first or second chance exit exam are
      permitted to register for and take English 101; those who do not pass the first or second
      chance exit exam must retake English 100 the next semester. Regardless of a student’s
      grade prior to taking the exam, s/he will only be able to register for English 101 upon
      successful completion and passing of the English 100 exit exam.

GRADING:
         Writing (3-5 5-paragraph essays, at least 2 in-class)           500 points
         Tests, Quizzes, Homework, MyWritingLab                          250 points
         Exit Essay                                                      250 points

INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGE Effective Term: 201110 COURSE PREFIX: ENG 100 COURSE TITLE: Introduction to Composition CONTACT HOURS: 3 Lecture RATIONALE FOR THE COURSE: Students learn to write by practicing writing. Therefore, English 100 helps students develop their writing and critical thinking skills by composing five-paragraph essays and reviewing grammar, punctuation, and use of transitions. English 100 is a college preparatory English course that helps students refine their critical thinking and writing skills, which are essential prerequisites for English 101. PURPOSE OF THE COURSE: English 100 covers material necessary to ensure successful transition from basic English skills, paragraph structure, complex sentence variety (taught in ENG 031 and 032 and reviewed in ENG100) to proficient use of five-paragraph essay structure and development of basic critical thinking skills. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a study of basic writing and different modes of composition and may include a review of usage. In order to advance to English 101, a student must earn a minimum grade of ―C‖ and pass an exit exam to be administered at the end of the semester. The exit exam is scored by two full-time English teachers other than the student’s instructor. PREREQUISITES: A grade of ―C‖ or better in ENG 032, score of 70-79 Writing on the COMPASS test, or recommended placement by the teacher of English 101, Composition I, based upon performance on the 101 diagnostic sample essay.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students must be present for a minimum of 80% of their classes. All absences are considered as non-attendance and may not be made up or excused (except for jury duty and National Guard duty). A class that meets 70 hours per semester allows for 10 hours (not days) of penalty-free absences.

CLASSROOM DECORUM: Please view the classroom decorum section of the College catalog and familiarize yourself with your instructor’s policies and expectations for acceptable classroom behavior.

Writing (formatting) – students will be able to apply the steps of the writing process, identify and apply pre-writing techniques, organize and draft writings that reflect a controlling idea in the introduction, body, and conclusion, write legibly (or use word processing) 5. Writing (content) – students will be able to compose a thoughtful, well-supported and organized five-paragraph essay, which includes a clear thesis statement/controlling idea and adheres to college-level expectations and standards. EVALUATION OF REQUIRED COURSE MEASURES/ARTIFACTS: Grades are based on points from assignments, in-class writings, tests, quizzes, MyWritingLab and/or grammar exercises, in accordance with the system found below, though the points may be adjusted slightly by instructors. Note that grades of A *, B*, C*, F* are awarded in this course; a D* grade does not exist in English 100. Note: Exit exam results determine whether or not a student passes English 100, regardless of the grade prior to the exit exam. Students with a ―C*‖ or higher will be permitted to take the exit exam; others must re-take the course. EXIT EXAM EVALUATION/PROCESS: 1. Approximately two weeks prior to the end of the semester, students whose averages are an A, B, or C, are permitted to take the exit exam.

Each exit exam is scored by at least two full-time faculty members of the Communications department, who are not the instructor of the class being graded. 4. The student’s performance on the exit exam determines whether or not the student passes the course. Those who pass either the first or second chance exit exam are permitted to register for and take English 101; those who do not pass the first or second chance exit exam must retake English 100 the next semester. Regardless of a student’s grade prior to taking the exam, s/he will only be able to register for English 101 upon successful completion and passing of the English 100 exit exam. Page 4
